The tensile strength of a material is the value at which the material fails when subjected to a tensile force. (Tensile means a force pulling the wood fibers lengthwise, as opposed to a compressive force.) There are a lot of different types and load cases for wood, so there is not one answer to this question. For example, wood used outside will fail at a lower load than wood inside. Wood is also anisotropic, i.e. it has different strength in different directions. Example values of tensile strength vary anywhere from 175 pounds per square inch for Utility Grade pine to 1400 psi for Dense Select Structural grade Douglas Fir. A good reference for material strength data for most species and grades of commerically available wood can be found in the American Institute of Timber Construction handbook.
I just did a Google search and found on a student report website which claimed to site a wood book that the tensile strength is 8,700 psi. It also said the compression strength is 4,400 psi. It does not matter what the length is for compression. That means even if you keep it vertical, it will collaps into itself at 4,400 psi.
I did not write down the modulus of elasticity, but I do remember it was much greater than balsa, maybe 10x.

If you mean force, the SI unit is the newton. If you mean the strength of a material - its ability to withstand force - there are different types of strength: look up Compressive strength, Tensile strength, Shear strength. For example, the units for tensile strength are newtons / square meter.

The major difference is that Swingline staplers have staples that are only designed for used with this type of stapler. Additionally, a Swingline stapler uses heavy-duty staples that have a minimum of 135,000 PSI wire for greater tensile strength.
no iron has any tensile strength
Tensile strength annealed 207
The tensile strength of concrete is 10% of it's compressive strength.
Tensile strength of Fe410Wa is 410 Mpa Min
tensile strength of astm A672Gr.55
Liquids do not have tensile strength. The equivalent property is viscosity.
Tensile strength was discovered by Leonardo Da Vinci in the 1800s.
You mean tensile strength. Different steels have different tensile strengths. The way they are made (drawn, cast, forged, etc.) is critically important to the tensile strength. By the way--steel is more important for its stiffness than its tensile strength.
tensile strength is approximately between .08 to .15 of compression strength in concrete
Modulus of rupture > Splitting strength > Direct tensile strength
